                "roles"
            ]
    },
});

I got this in my client options, but it doesn't it give notifications, neither is the message highlighted? What am I doing wrong?

Message Not Public

I think that option name is a little counter intuitive, unless im also reading it wrong. But you shouldn't specify anything there if you want to ping / send notifications through mentions just remove the entire allowed mentions part and try again

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Without the entire allowedMentions the message gets highlighted as if it did mention, but they don't get the ping

icon. So I was told to use allowedMentions which just worsened it

ShompiFlen•2y ago

You don't need to specify that, i dont do it and I can ping people just fine. How are you trying to mention them? in the message content? an embed? mentioning a role?

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

In the message content as a member

ShompiFlen•2y ago

you tried mentioning more users? or yourself

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Can't mention myself with my bot, but others says they don't get notifications when others mentions them

ShompiFlen•2y ago

sounds more like a client issue / server configuration / notification configuration rather than a problem with your bot to be honest what if you mention them with your account do they get pinged?

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Lemme find out I just tried mentioning someone asking them if it gave them a notification and it did, but it doesn't if it goes through the bot

ShompiFlen•2y ago

<a:you_think_about_that:451355866529005570> ok so first just try removing the allowed mentions option from your client, then can you show me your code, how are you sending the message

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

target is interaction.options.getMember

interaction.editReply({ content: `${target}`, embeds: [embed] })

interaction.editReply({ content: `${target}`, embeds: [embed] })

ShompiFlen•2y ago

Im just trying it like this and as you can see I get the ping notification even inside of a muted channel

ShompiFlen•2y ago

Ohhhh I see you are editing the reply edits do not ping it has to be a fresh reply

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Sadly I have to defer the reply though, otherwise it'll fail. What can I do to ping then?

ShompiFlen•2y ago

I think you can send a followUp message or just send a new message directly to the channel

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Nah none of those would work for this

ShompiFlen•2y ago

are you defering the initial reply?

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Wdym?

ShompiFlen•2y ago

are you calling interaction.deferReply()

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Yes

ShompiFlen•2y ago

because what you could do instead is just interaction.reply(pingmemberhere) add like a "wait a bit" message to it, then edit the reply with the new content

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Then running the rest of the code before editing the reply

ShompiFlen•2y ago

so they get the mention but they also know they have to wait

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

The interaction would run out and I'd get the Unknown interaction error if I did that

ShompiFlen•2y ago

Nope replying to the interaction is just like deferring it you can edit it later up until 15 minutes

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Ohh I think I get what you mean now

ShompiFlen•2y ago

you will lose the ability to have that "Bot is thinking..." message, but you will be able to ping people

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Hmm, though that could be an approach I'm not sure I'm a fan of it tbh

ShompiFlen•2y ago

well thats just how it is, you can't ping people if you mentioned them in an edit, so you have to find a workaround

Iced QueenOP•2y ago

Looks like it. Well thanks for the guidance at least
